# Download & Install Chronik

Download Chronik for the right platform.

:::warning
This tutorial is about how to run a bitcoind instance with Chronik enabled.
This requires a decent server and may take days to sync. Recommended for advanced users.
You can already get started by using one of our pre-synced instances:

-   **If you want to know how to use `chronik-client` in your eCash apps**, go to [Chronik - JS/TS Client](/chronik-js/install).

export const version = rawVersion.trim();
